Dianna is the user with most postcards sent from Macau, and she loves it when members decorate them, or fill them with stickers! :)
Here is what she had to say to our spotlight questions:
- How did you come across Postcrossing? What got you hooked?
-
I became a postcard lover since my first trip abroad, I enjoy sending postcards to my friends and to myself. One day my friend Staci told me about postcrossing so I become a member. I am so glad about Postcrossings as it has enabled me to contact people who love postcards and to swap with people around the world. We are able to share our feeling and stories with each other. I just love it. Thanks to Postcrossing, I have collected so many beautiful postcards now and have made some good friends!
- Do you have any other interesting hobbies?
-
Yes, I love world travel, hiking, coffee tasting, reading, movies, music, gardening, cooking, quilting and learning other languages.
- Show and tell us about your favorite received postcard to date, and what makes it special.
-
Here are some of my favourites:
- Have you been surprised by any place that you have received a postcard from or sent a postcard to?
-
I received a card from North Korea. :-)
- Have you met any other members in real life?
-
Yes, one member from Thailand and one from Macau so far.
- What is it your favorite part of the Postcrossing process?
-
My favorite part is to receive postcards. I really enjoying reading and looking at each one that I get. I also enjoy looking for cards to send to others. I really try to find cards that people will like. Sometimes that can be a challenge.

I love to decorate all my cards that I send out with stickers and magazine picture clippings and old stamps. I always use colored sharpies to write with, I even use an ink pad to color the back of the card to make a tie dye looking effect. Everyone loves them :)
How fun! :) I'm slowly getting more into adding stickers and other fun things to the postcards I send - I know that I enjoy seeing the extra fun little things! :)
Fun spotlight, nice to meet you! :)
Nice spotlight,nice cards :)
Wow! Amazing decoration of postcards! :) Such a nice idea to draw something on the back side :)
macua stamp is quiet beautifull.
I like to see Macua postcrosser in spotlight.
Great cards, ... but doesn't the Postcrossing etiquette prohibit the publishing the backside of cards??
Thanks to all the postcard lovers, I don't mind to swap cards with you if you are seriously :)) just send me your note !
Yes, wildermesscat, this is only for the interview
Hi Dianna, nice to see you here, we exchanged and i liked your own picture stamp :)
A card from North Korea! That must be very rare! Great interview :-D
Yes, lucymonty, so far I only got one card from North Korea, hard to believe!
Thank you CherryII, how are you . I remember that, nice to meet you here too.
Hello Maleak. Thank you so much and nice to meet you here. I was lucky to be interview. Too bad that I got so many nice cards but I cannot send them all in. Let me know if you want a card from Macau. Take care!
Hi Dianna! I received one of your beautiful postcards with a lovely message not too long ago! So nice to see you in the "Spotlight"! Happy Postcrossing!
Interesting interview and postcards!:-)
Nice interview. Wish i good get a card from North Korea once.
Very special cards. Thanks for sharing!
How wonderful dear Diana!
very impressed!
Thank you Neil from USA, nice to meet you too and see you here. :)
Dear Staci, Thank you again for letting me know this wonderful website. Thanks for all the postcards lover from the world. Thanks POSTCROSSING !
One of the first cards I received was from Diane. She sent me a great postcard of the New Bridge at Night. It really brought home how far the postcards were going to travel and how I would recieve them from different countries.
I actually have two post card from North Korea, one was send by my boss when visited there
Lynda, do you mean Diane from Macau? How nice!
Finally, a Chinese person appears on this blog!
终于有一位中国人了!不容易啊!我泪流……
中國人加油!!!
咳咳,中国邮政的魔爪,是无处不在的…当然,您在澳门,大概可以幸免于难…
I wonder, like Wildernesscat, that written side of cards were published against the etiquette. And I wonder that you others who have written comments to this presentation, have said nothing about this. Wouldn't you mind at all if your card was published like this? I would.
Well, this interview is all about sharing. I was asked to send in some examples of my favorite postcards. Postcards are an open mail that everyone can read, even the postman and all people who touch the cards. I did not published something personal and against the website etiquette rules. I am not sure why you mind seeing some great examples that people have sent me. Isn't the idea to share with each other the whole idea? I will be very very Happy if somebody using my as an example.
Antintin, 看來有人不爽了
Lovely interview! It's nice to "get to know" some of your fellow Postcrssers in this way.
As for showing the backs of the cards, when you upload pictures of your cards, it is stated very clearly that addresses are not to be shown. No addresses are showing in the cards DiannaMacau used in the interview.
多謝你嘅分享吖 :)
收到北韓嘅明信片實係開心啦!
In my opinion,it is not a problem to show the postcard cause the address parts has been blanked it.
Thank you for the sharing!
Macao is very good as I've travelled Macao once although HK is so near Macao :)
Yes Diana - I checked that card was from you. I loved getting one from so far away. It was the 6th card I received as a postcrosser.
Sorry Dianna I keep spelling your name wrong.
Dear Eskae,
Thank you for your support Eskae, that's right, I am sure the postcrossing knows what they are doing ! And thank you for sharling your feelings too.
Happy Postcrossing !
Dianna
Dear Ivan,
Thank you for your support and sharing your feeling here. The stamps from North Korea is very special. You should visit Macau more, we are only one hour by jetfoil.
Have a nice weekend. 歡迎來澳門玩
Dianna
Hello Devonwrecked,
Thank you so much ! You can not image how happy I was when received each card everyday and how much I was into it. It upsads me a little when someone do not understand. But it will not able to stop my hobbie and sharing my happiness with my friends around the world.

As a matter of fact, backside interaction of postcrossers can make a lot of difference!
Thanks, Dianna, for sharing your feelings.
Hello Dianna

看来不止有一人反感中国邮政了。。。
Hi Zhan, Thanks my little friend ! 郵政不到家確實是讓人失望啊
Have a happy summer !
so interesting and amazing spotlight! it was a pleasure to meet you :)
Thank you bodrumlu! Ni Hao! Nice to meet you too! Thanks / Che Che ! Diannamacau
Lovely interview. I thought it was interesting that several commenters expressed concern about the backside being shown. Like Dianna, I assumed it was just for the address. My postman has actually told me, "I love post cards. I know I am not supposed to read them, but I do. They make my day."
Yes right autummaple, the postcard really make us happy and make many prople smile. Thanks you !
Dianna
